Why spark rhymes the way it does
Pull spark apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the open /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on a liquid feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 21 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 152, assonance 7,365, and consonance 42. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Spark pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
